Yeah, ok.
Imprison him and torture him for info on Saruman's forces? Not the Dúnedain way.
Just imprison him at all. Else they deserve all the chaos and deaths that resulted.
it's funny seeing you little shits talk about these movies when I was in the AICN chat telling Peter Jackson how to shoot certain scenes and he did exactly what I said
It’s to mirror the choice of melkor
Melkor gets chances to repent, doesn’t
Sauron gets opportunities to repent doesn’t
Saruman gets opportunities to repent doesn’t

Still stupid. They killed thousands of others with no mercy or care. And this guy gets hundreds of their own killed and almost results in them completely losing. All just for "oh he stabs Saruman in the back much later in the story when Saruman is essentially already beaten" as if they really needed that.
In the books, that Wormtongue guy was spared but later he kills Saruman and is killed by the Hobbits. It's kind of like how when Gollum finally got the One Ring, after biting Frodo's finger off, he fell into the volcano showing that evil kills itself, I guess.
And people still have the courage to say Skyrim is better than TW3. Literally everything on TW3 is better but city design alone mogs skyrim out of the competition
Baghdad peaked at 1 million and its size was around 10 square mile making it as dense as Pinoy cities. They had sewage but it must of stunk back then and they must have walked all over each other.
Makes sense, frankly. Keep in mind these people didn't have kitchens. They had to be dealt out food daily. That's not something they can afford to spread out.
Depends, it takes about 8 acres of land to produce enough wheat for a typical peasant family and they didn’t produce much excess and shipping grain over land is inefficient because the horses eat a good chunk of the product
Something like Rohan is going to be decentralized into small plots clustered around the local lord who can afford to build a mill with wide spaces of grazing land between them and few larger places like the main hall where enough excess grain can be shipped by water to supply artisan like armorers
I was really happy to see Brad Dourif land himself a solid role in a ridiculously-popular film. And he was so perfect in it. He’s one of those low-profile types who always pop up in things I enjoy watching.
That's clearly not why he offered him mercy you fucking idiot. He needs not follow Sarumon, he was once a man of Rohan. He need only join his king at his side and be free of Sauron. Killing him would be a waste.
He was just outed as a spy that told their enemy everything and had the king's body and mind poisoned, and you'd put him back at the king's side?! Shut the fuck up, moron.
So what?
If you fight back against Sauron, he wins
Then I'll kill two
A king has divine mandate to execute whoever he wants but the reality is that Rohan is a sad vassal state of Gondor.
>implying anyone leading Gondor was crafty enough for realpolitik.
Vassal? He is no Vassal! He is a KI-
one of my favorite episodes in the show
We don't know if the mouth of a Sauron was a killer or not, so it's possible that Aragorn abided by his rule
>They let this guy go run to the enemy with all his intricate knowledge of their plans, defenses, and capabilities
>They continue the rest of the trilogy killing thousands wantonly
they dont even show his death in the theatrical version of kings
Imprison him and torture him for info on Saruman's forces? Not the Dúnedain way.
He had already told Saruman everything

Movie stuff only
He told saruman about the drain in the deeping wall. At the very least they should have kept him as a PoW until the war ends.
Not in the book.
Grima kills Sauruman in the Shire (not pictured in Hacksons capeshit)

The whole cycle trickles to worm tongue
>Here's that capitol city of the "Kingdom" I was telling you about
Aren’t they plains nomads? Like they take then herds around to graze and only come back to town sparsely?
>capitol
retard
gee, it's almost like the capitals of sparsely inhabited, horse based cultures were based on military feasibility and not population
i bet you're good at age of empires
>horse based cultures
>posts a russian fort established solely for territorial control
maybe look up mongol empire or something, they did have a capital
>What is the house of Rohan, but a thatched barn where Brigands drink in the reek and the rats roll on the floor with the dogs? Victory at Helm's Deep does not belong to you Théoden, Horse Master. You are a Lesser Son of Greater Sires.
>how do you respond without sounding mad
apparently by having your elf shoot him and then having him fall on a spike
>If I kill him, if I go down that road, I'll save potentially tens of thousands of innocent lives if not more and instantly go a long way towards helping to stabilize and protect this city in perpetuity, which is supposed to be my stated purpose and ultimate goal
>But then I will be a killer too. And soon after, I will start killing innocents and terrorizing the city just like him. There's no other way.
Batman is a cuck who would want gun control.
How did puny Rohan ever think it could compete?
I remember when the outer wall was white before the history change
> Where is the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? They have passed like rain on the mountain, like wind in the meadow. The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow.
Any original lines like these makes anything from rings of power seem so unfathomably cringe
One of the central themes is that mercy results in better rewards than vengeance.
Still stupid. They killed thousands of others with no mercy or care. And this guy gets hundreds of their own killed and almost results in them completely losing. All just for "oh he stabs Saruman in the back much later in the story when Saruman is essentially already beaten" as if they really needed that.
In the books Saruman manages to escape and runs to the shire laying waste to it and everything on its path.
In the books, that Wormtongue guy was spared but later he kills Saruman and is killed by the Hobbits. It's kind of like how when Gollum finally got the One Ring, after biting Frodo's finger off, he fell into the volcano showing that evil kills itself, I guess.
Christcuck wank fantasy.
what do they eat?
They use doordash
It's no wonder that Rohan is just a vassal state of Gondor
fixed
>I asked for but one Big Mac from their Golden Arches. They gave me three.
there are like 20 McDonalds in Minas Tirith at least
rohan horses
>ah yes, the largest city, the capital of the province and seat of the High King
I hate Bethesda so much
And people still have the courage to say Skyrim is better than TW3. Literally everything on TW3 is better but city design alone mogs skyrim out of the competition

How big were medieval cities?
They think Baghdad peaked at a million in 1258
